market applications
This year, there will be numerous opportunities for queer vendors/community groups at Halifax Pride! The Community Market and QTBIPOC Market both take place over parade weekend.
QTBIPOC Market
Date: Thursday, July 17, 8:00pm-11:00am.
Location: Garrison Grounds.
This market takes place during melaNATION: A QTBIPOC Showcase.
This market will be open to 2SQTBIPOC vendors only.
Community Market
Date: Saturday, July 19, 1:00pm-5:00pm.
Location: Bell Rd Indigo parking lot (attached to Garrison Grounds)
This market takes place during Drag on the MainStage following the Pride Parade.
The annual Community Market is open to all queer identifying vendors whose work or products are unavailable for purchase at a physical outlet, and 2SLGBTQIA+ mandated community groups/not-for-profits.
NEW THIS YEAR: The market is taking place in the Bell Road parking lot attached to the Garrison Grounds. Most market spots are uncovered, but vendors are welcome to bring their own 10x10 pop up tent. A limited number of covered 10x10 booths will be available under a large tent.
Fees
Due to rising operating costs, we've had to increase the registration fees for participation in this year's Community Market. If this fee poses a financial barrier to your participation, please indicate this in your application form. We'll reach out upon acceptance to provide support. Financial constraints will not affect your eligibility or approval.
There is no fee to participate in the QTBIPOC Market.
Deadline to apply is Thursday, May 15 at 10:00pm.
FOOD vendors
We are currently accepting applications from licensed food vendors and food trucks to participate in our 2025 Festival Site at the Garrison Grounds.

All food vendors must be fully licensed and operate from a self-contained unit. At this time, Halifax Pride is unable to accommodate unlicensed food operations.
